August 29 - 'Twas a dark and stormy night, and the power was out on Burnaby Mountain...

...so there was no Jumbalaya last week. :(

Sorry about this!! I'll make it up for you with an amazing line-up next week full of all the fancy electronic sounds.

Right now I'm really enjoying Gang Signs' new singles 'Mate' and 'SW'. Their new album Geist drops October 2!

August 22 - First Saturday Jumbalaya

Yeah, Saturday Jumbalaya! Started off with a bang. :D

Songs played (* Cancon):

• The Chemical Brothers (feat. Q-Tip) - Go
• Hudson Mohawke feat. Ruckazoidz & Devaeux - Warriors
• Gang Signs* - SW
• Mas Ysa* - Margarita
• Tanlines - Running Still
• High Jinx* - Get Pretty or Die Trying
• Georgia - Move Systems
• Chantel Upshaw* - Fine Thing (My Electronic Friends Remix)
• Jamie xx feat. Romy - Loud Places
• Holly Herndon - Morning Sun
• Joyfultalk* - Possible Futures

The non-playlist track 'SW' is from Gang Signs' upcoming album Geist.

Gang Signs is a Vancouver electropop trio...and one of the members is actually Peter Ricq of Humans!! So if you thought what you heard sounded like Humans...that's why. To me they sound like a mix of the xx and Humans.

I absolutely love Hudson Mohawke's Lantern album. The instrumental tracks I believe are stronger compared to the vocal ones but I really like 'Warriors' so I've showcased it this week. The instrumentals are trap-based, but it incorporates some orchestral and bass influences and are thus more intriguing.

In fact, the Peak PSA features a snippet of one Hudson Mohawke track! I produced it. >:)

I'm hosting this Jumbalaya to get a feel of what my new music show would sound like. I've got an electronic inclination but since there are so many electronic music shows already on CJSF I'd like to see what makes my show stand out from the other electro shows.

Back to Jumbalaya!

Big news everybody. I'm back!!!

I'll be hosting Saturdays 7-8pm now...starting TODAY! I'll be playing more electronic stuff in order to test out an idea for my own music show.
